Tour of Eastern Victoria
http://www.tracks4bikers.com/tours/1955
8 stages and a prologue with 3 mountain top finishes.
Always hard to link climbs together in Australia, so stage 4 to Mt. Buller is a bit weak, but stage 3 with the Falls Creek/Hotham double and stage 7 with Donna Buang and Baw Baw should provide plenty of opportunities for the climbers in the GC battle.
Tour of Tasmania.
http://www.tracks4bikers.com/tours/1962
A 7 stage tour of the state that'll highlight a lot of more of its natural beauty than the current tour manages to do. Again lack of climbs make it hard for a proper mountain stage, so we have just a couple of hilly stages and a MTF on the final day to Mt. Wellington. Should go to a strong TTer who can climb.

you can design the whole stage using bikeroutetoaster.com, then export the gpx file and import it in tracks4bikers. After you did, just choose "edit" to see the track and update profile. You won't be able to modify it though.Pricey_sky said:Hi,
Im currently in the process of making my first stage race, an 8 stage Tour of Britain. Im using the Tracks4bikers website however whenever I get up to 200km distance on my stage it wont let me go any further. Is there any way of moving this distance? I've got a couple of stages ive planned that are around 225km and i dont want to shorten them.

You no longer have to edit it to see it. Not long ago it was changed so that when you viewed it (as you would view a normal track) it showed it correct.Eshnar said:you can design the whole stage using bikeroutetoaster.com, then export the gpx file and import it in tracks4bikers.
